"My colleague and I have been frequenting this little hidden gem of a place ever since we discovered it about a month ago. There are countless reasons why we find ourselves coming back for more every week. Every night we dined there regardless of it being a weekday or a weekend, there was at least one group of customers having a cheerful birthday party and I don't wonder why. All the staff couldn't be more celebratory playing music and the drum, singing, dancing and bringing out the cake and complimentary shots. They do absolutely their best to make it a memorable dinner for each and every group on a special occasion. This doesn't mean that they neglect other customers at all. No matter how busy they are, they pay careful and equal attention to all the tables, serving food and taking away finished plates in a most prompt manner and attentively topping up water and bring condiments, always with bright smiles on their faces. Their food is all beautifully flavoured and fresh and come in incredibly generous portions. Ever for pescatarians, they offer a range of choices to choose from. Mussels in Tomato Sauce and Linguine Marinara are addicitvely scrumptious while their pizzas and garlic bread are as authentic and satisfying as they could be. After growing up in Japan and living in London, Australia and Canada for the last ten years and eating out at countless restaurants, I had never come across any other place as uniquely special and generous as here. Seeing how much the owner and all his staff cherish their customers and what degree of hospitality and respect they show to every single one of their diners (they never discriminate between their regulars and first-timers), I found it very precious and refreshing and at the same time I feel extremely lucky to have discovered this "model" local business. For them, it looks like making their customers happy is the top (and probably sole) priority. How many other restaurants out there are like this? Customers dine here feeling as if they were invited into a big loving Italian family dinner. Everyone leaves full, merry and grateful. I can't wait to continue to eat at this fantastic restaurant and proudly send my friends here. Thank you so much for being an absolute delight in our area!"
